问题    The Treaty on European Union also set out the economic criteria Member States must meet to complete Europe’s economic and monetary union (EMU), the ultimate goal of economic partnership envisaged by the architects of the Treaty of Rome. EMU means a single monetary policy operating within a single economic market and is therefore the logical completement to the Single Market in Europe today. The EMU will be run by a European Central Bank independent of both national governments and European union institutions.
   A major aspect of EMU is the single currency, to be known as the cure. The cure will enter into circulation in January 1999 in those Member States which meet the criteria for entry to the EMU, and by mid-2002 the changeover from national currencies to the cure in those countries will be complete. The introduction of the cure will be the most visible measure of integration to date in the daily lives of citizens of the European Union.
   The rights of European citizens were further extended by the Maastricht Treaty, m that today citizens of the Member States may travel, reside, work and carry out transactions in any country of the EU without hindrance and with full protection of the law. The European Union’s fields of responsibility were extended to include areas such as consumer protection, public health policy, environmental protection, education and culture and the creation Of major transport, communications and energy.
   Since the signing of the Treaty of Rome in 1957, Europe has been witness to a remarkable growth in its vitality, homogeneity and strength as a democracy. The first union of six Member States has been enlarged to its present number of fifteen. Added to the original six are Denmark, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Sweden and Finland, the last three countries being admitted to the European Union in 1995. The next century will see the inclusion in the Union of a number of countries, mostly from central and Eastern Europe. Today the European Union is one of the world’s greatest single trading powers. Its present population of 370 million has many freedoms and choices, both as citizens and as consumers. Its companies have entered new markets and formed new partnerships to exploit economic opportunities at home and abroad. As the century draws to a close, the vision of a united Europe; made manifest by the Treaty of Rome, is closer to realization than even before. [br] How many Member States are there now in the European Union?
